Insecurities Poems - Poems about Insecurities

The truth hurts, doesn't it?

You moan about how we say life isn't fair
But it shouldn't have to be fair for equality to exist
Life being fair isn't being born into luxury 
Its being rich in safety
An automatic right we all should have 
Being rich doesn't always equal wealth
Rich is safety and the lack of doubt 

Invalidation is a hobby for

marionette of grief

They birthed me in a house of screams, Where shadows stitched my fevered dreams— No lullaby, no gentle womb, Just rusted chains and cradle's tomb.
A mother’s voice? A serpent's hiss. A father's touch? A clenched, cold fist. Each lull was laced with sharpened lies, Each smile a mask, each hug a vice.
I suckled rage from

Insecurities

In the shadowed corners of my thoughts,

                     In a whisper,
                         

Flaws

I know making you less perfect
won’t make me any better
yet I can’t help it
I fabricate your flaws in my head 
as if it would make my own disappear 
almost as if ruining you 
made me any better
…
almost as if making you imperfect
made me as perfect as you

—maybe I should learn to love my flaws instead of obsessing

Tailored to Grow Up

In the world of today girls feel the need to sexualize themselves. 
Social validation is more important to them than personal values, family, and getting good grades.
Makeup and skincare can be found in their online shopping carts—
replacing Christmas wish lists
along with clothes that are two sizes too big or two sizes too small. 
They get

The Prismatic Self

I am a dare-dreamer, a mask wearer
a soul bare-r (but not always my own); a word-weaver. 
I pull at thoughts like strings. Strings of cobwebs
and cirrus, frayed dungarees and threadbare memories 
until I warp and weft strings of thoughts into poems.
Sometimes I get caught in my own knots—
I cut myself loose of those naughty strings.

I

Ascent and Descent

We have a tendency to focus on our flaws, despite it being what makes us human; what we despise is what one desires, and what we desire is what someone despises.
I felt this way for years; I still do- the perpetuous feeling that I’m horrendous. 
When I look in my mirror, I don’t see my

Do I Know You

Do I know you? 
No. 
You don’t know me. 
How can you when I don’t know myself? 

You know 
that I’m wearing glasses 
and have a pimple on my cheek.  
You know 
that I smile at the end of your sentences 
but don’t know that I’m not really listening, 
only hearing your 
pauses. 

Stained Glass Insecurities

I thought I saw the butterflies inked on your skin
Flying away 
Your vial of tears was spilled out on your journal page 
I couldn't see the words of the letter that you wrote 
But I'm sure it was filled with nothing but love 
You had the biggest heart of anyone I ever knew 
I'm sure

I want to kill myself

i like her 
i like her a lot 
i want to kill myself
he likes her 
she likes him a lot
i want to kill myself
Oh, how were the days
i hoped to unite 
Hoping the love 
won't just be mine 
But damn, i hope a lot 
The ugly beast that i am, I can not 
The prince

Good Enough

I fear I'm not enough,
A young girl's quiet doubt,
In this world so big and tough,
I wonder what it's all about.

I worry I can't measure up,
To expectations high and strong,
But I'll keep trying, never give up,
Even when things seem so wrong.

I'll take small steps, one by one,
Learning as I go, you'll see,
In the end, I'll find

Just Me

In a world that says I must be pretty,
I struggle with doubts, it isn't easy.
They want me to change, inside and out,
But why can't they see what I'm about?

I study hard, I do my best,
But still, I feel I'm not like the rest.
Insecurities fill my mind,
Wondering if I'll ever find
A way to be just who

The S I L E N T Treatment

My insecurities, taunting me
With the s i l e n t treatment, enoughs
Stirring up doubt inside, where 
I hide all the loose ends, the frailties
Little uncertainties, haunting me

With the assumptions, the assurance
I’m not good enough, never
Good enough – wise enough,
Kind enough – bright enough

Never will be sure enough
Can’t imagine being pure enough
No, I know I’ll

This Is Me Trying

I have been having a hard time adjusting
In this picture perfect world 
Often having this notion
If i belong here
I didn't know they'd care if i came back
Now i have a lot of regrets
Running away from the insecurities
And panic stricken thoughts
But i am in the here
Just wanted you to know that this is me trying
They told

My Insecurities

I just keep faking it.
Smiling thinking I'm making it.
They all think I'm okay.
They all think I'm not insecure.
They don't know I'm dying inside.

The light they see through me,
Is not the same as i see through myself.
Even though I tell myself that I'm the most
beautiful girl on earth,
I know it ain't the truth, I'm just tryna
